Lift Tickets have been getting more and more expensive these days, so lets see if we can find the most expensive single day lift ticket for an adult. Holiday prices are valid too. whoever finds the highest gets a prize.
Include a link for validity

I can not believe that a place like Vail and Beaver Creek charges $81 / day plus they nail you $25 to park for the day. Now you wonder why the ski industry is not booming....

In Vail you pay about 1.5 cents per acre of skiing. In michigan you pay about 20. Thats about 13 times as expensive. So when you guys ski out west remember that at least you have more than 5 runs to ski.

Park City is like 75$ and I don't get how people actually pay the full price when there is better skiing at the other resorts like 10 minutes away for cheaper. And I am talking about people who don't ski park.

Good point. It is hard for us to fathom, because we go to a mountain for the terrain, snow and lack of crowds.

There is a whole different market of skiers that value a resort based on amenities like shopping, lodging and mountain status. These are the same people who complain when there is powder on a run because they think it should be groomed. I don't understand it, but I've seen enough of them to know it is out there.

bald mountain, idaho. It's really small with a t-bar and rope tow, but it's fun because we can build jumps all over. lots of pow, but basically no park

61 for adult holiday is such a fucking rip off at bromley, especially since it was open 100% like once all year
